Enlightenment

Blessed by the chaste kiss of SeshatHer refulgent soul began its journeyThrough a ruined leprous ParadiseTo spread the light of intellect.To inspire the cursed derelictIgnorance coaxed by the Spirit so tenderAbandoned his splendid nestHe looked on with a curious smileAs Enlightenment stepped in to rest.A mute lightning brightened the skyOn a dark canopied starless nightAnd seeped into man to be his sight.Seshat smiled in her divine realmFor an era had come to an endThe gloom of the night faded as it rainedMarking the Rising Sun's reign.
